Did New York City's Sanitation Dept. (who is responsible for snow-plowing the streets) intentionally slow their snow-plowing operations during the recent snow storms?
According to the New York Post, they did intentionally order a work slowdown.
CBS News.com reports:
The New York Post is reporting that Sanitation Department bosses in New York City's outer boroughs ordered their drivers to slow snow removal in protest over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.
City Councilman Dan Halloran, R-Queens, told the Post that he was visited by guilt-ridden sanitation workers who told him about their bosses' plot.

Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts -- a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.
Miles of roads stretching from as north as Whitestone, Queens, to the south shore of Staten Island still remained treacherously unplowed last night because of the shameless job action, several sources and a city lawmaker said, which was over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.
Mark Steyn, who is guest-hosting today's Rush Limbaugh show, said that this action caused the deaths of a 75-year-old woman and a newborn baby because first responders could not reach them in time.

I'd say the perpetrators of this scheme need to be prosecuted.

Can't wait until the lawsuits against the Sanitation Department start for the people who died because of uncleared streets..
